Karate

I signed the kids up for a karate workshop today. They have been wanting to try karate for a long time so I thought this would be fun for them. They learned a lot about self control, respect, and discipline as well as technique, aim, and speed. Here are some pictures of them in their uniforms doing what they learned.
 





Dance has helped Hannah with the choreography of karate and being pigeon toed helped her keep her toes pointed properly.

 
 
Richard had great form and power but had trouble turning those toes forward.




 
 
At the end of class they got to break a board. Richard did his quickly and easily. It took Hannah took 4 turns to break hers then was the only one in the class to break it in thirds and the instructors were impressed. They each earned their white belts for doing this.
